Time To Heal

In the cities and the towns

The word is coming down

No more doubt, no more pain

There's been a dragging of the chain

Now there's a price we gotta pay

No way out, no way 'round

Where is the town that we lived in, brother?

Where is the sound of the church bells, sister?

Now is the time to heal

You keep running from the wheel

But there's nothing left to feel

Empty heart down and out

Now the writer's can't explain

Why we're playing up again

No way out, no way down

Where is the hope of a clean tomorrow?

Hope only offers when justice is coming

Now is the time to heal

Where is the ground, the beloved country?

Women and men who have fallen silent

Where are the words that can speak forgiveness?

Now is the time, now is the time, now is the time to heal
